Error launching Duke3d - "Failed Loading Art"

  I get this error when attempting to launch Duke3d.exe.  I am running XP 64-bit.  Screenshot and DXDiag.TXT attached.
  
  I found a thread here which suggested placing a fresh Duke3d.GRP in the install directory, but it did not solve the problem.  have tried with both the Atomic and Normal versions of this file.  Anyone have any ideas?
  
  Here are the MD5 hashes of the files I used:
  
  22b6938fe767e5cc57d1fe13080cd522  - Atomic
  981125cb9237c19aa0237109958d2b50 - Normal
  
  *Edit*
  I'm now pretty sure it has something to do with XP 64.  I launched the installer over a network from my Server 2003 SP 2 machine, and it worked fine.

  I've heard EDuke32 supports XP 64-bit, but you'll have to try it out and confirm.
